This podcast is about bringing parents, players, and coaches together around the most important aspects of the youth sports experience. You have thousands of teachable moments in the context of a 15-year window where kids are most open to learning and development - physically, mentally, tactically, emotionally, psychosocially, and in terms of core character. 

The goal of this podcast is to boost our enjoyment of the game and of the gift we have in our children. We hope to help parents, players, and coaches to make the most of the time we have with our kids, and to launch them into the world of adulthood with a solid toolbox of life skills.

#22 Concussions in Soccer

Apr 2, 2018

There are many questions about concussions related to youth sports. While we do share some soccer-specific information in this episode, a lot of this content is related to concussions in general. 

We must take concussions seriously. 1. They are harder to spot than an obvious wound 2. They can have long-lasting effects on school and quality of life 3. There are some rules we must follow and support in order to mitigate risks as much as possible. 4. There are things we can do to help prevent concussive injuries. 

In this episode, we explore concussions and in our show notes, we detail out articles, protective gear, and lots of helpful resources to support youth athletes.
